Newman was a dyed-in-the-wool left wing liberal, but at this time, all prayers and thoughts go out to his family. He was (easily) one of the greatest actors ever and will be missed. My personal favorite movie of his was The Sting. He will be missed (if this unconfirmed report is true).

He was an old school liberal though. He didn’t hate his country or anything like that. He just had another philosophy than we did and did a great job helping other people. I’m fine with people like that. Its the self before country, whining, preening types I can’t stand.

GreenAccord, he was, but he was very Down to Earth. Politically I didn’t like him, but meeting him (I worked at his camp for a year) he was not the ‘ACTORS’ of today, but a humble man.

He was a great actor, and he put his money where his mouth was. I believe he donated the profits from his companies, and he built ranches for seriously ill children. He always spoke respectfully of his wife, and he enjoyed life to the fullest. I don’t recall ever hearing him rant or carry on like so many of today’s actors, he just quietly went about doing what he thought was going to make things better. The film industry is being rapidly depleted of people with class and integrity.
